Answer:10 gallons of 30% solution and 30 gallons of 70% solution should be mixed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of gallons of the 30% solution that should be mixed.

Let y represent the number of gallons of the 70% solution that should be mixed.

The total number of gallons of the mixture to be made is 40. This means that

x + y = 40

The 30% solution of fertilizer is to be mixed with a 70% solution of fertilizer in order to get 40 gallons of a 60% solution. This means that

0.3x + 0.7y = 0.6 × 40

0.3x + 0.7y = 24- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.3(40 - y) + 0.7y = 24

12 - 0.3y + 0.7y = 24

- 0.3y + 0.7y = 24 - 12

0.4y = 12

y = 12/0.4

y = 30

x = 40 - y = 40 - 30

x = 10

a total eclipse in 2003 lasted 2 17/24,minutes in 2005 it lasted 3/8 of a minute how much longer did it last in 2003
Doss [256]

Answer:

Total eclipse was 2\frac{1}{3} minutes longer than in 2005.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question that total eclipse in 2003 lasted 2\frac{17}{24} minutes and in 2005 it lasted 3/8 of a minute.

We have to calculate how much longer did it last in 2003.

So we have to subtract the duration in 2003 by duration in 2005

Total time taken in 2003- total time taken in 2005

=2\frac{17}{24}-\frac{3}{8}

\frac{48+17}{24}-\frac{3}{8}

=\frac{65}{24}-\frac{3}{8}

=\frac{65-9}{24}

=\frac{56}{24}

\frac{7}{3}

=2\frac{1}{3} minutes
